In the end, we lastly know what Christopher Nolan’s subsequent film will likely be — an adaptation of The Odyssey, in IMAX after all.
Christopher Nolan has an early Christmas current for us: It’s been introduced that his subsequent film will likely be an adaptation of The Odyssey. The director has been busy assembling an all-star solid for his new challenge, however particulars have frustratingly been stored beneath wraps… till now.
“Christopher Nolan’s next film ‘The Odyssey’ is a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology,” reads the put up from Common Photos. “The film brings Homer’s foundational saga to IMAX film screens for the first time and opens in theaters everywhere on July 17, 2026.” Now that the brand new challenge has lastly been revealed, a number of the rumours, which ranged from a interval vampire thriller to a helicopter motion film, appear downright ridiculous.
The Odyssey is an historical Greek poem by Homer which tells the story of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, and his journey house after the ten-year Trojan Struggle. The journey was stuffed with peril, together with encounters with the Cyclops Polyphemus, the Sirens, and the witch-goddess Circe. At house, Odysseus is presumed useless, and his spouse Penelope and son Telemachus should deal with teams of unruly suitors who every need Penelope’s hand in marriage to manage the dominion.
As I discussed above, the movie options an all-star solid which incorporates Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway, and Zendaya. May Damon be enjoying Odysseus? The Odyssey has the potential to be one among Nolan’s greatest productions, and I’m vastly excited by the probabilities. That is going to be one to observe.
We’ve seen a number of variations of The Odyssey over time, together with the 1954 film Ulysses starring Kirk Douglas and the 1997 miniseries starring Armand Assante. The poem has impressed numerous others, together with O Brother, The place Artwork Thou?. The newest adaptation, The Return, hit theaters just some weeks in the past. It stars Ralph Fiennes as Odysseus and retells the final sections of Homer’s poem when the King washes up on the shores of Ithaca.
